Saw this earlier tonight as I was driving by on McNicoll just east of Midland.
This is NOT me.

Looks like the driver lost control with no one else involved. I doubt he/she suffered any damage, except to the ego.

What'r the odds those are "all-season" tires...

It's slippery out there - I find the traction control on the Speed 3 quite good - especially comapred to my wife's Mazda 5 w/o TC. Her snows (Gislaveds) dig much better in deep stuff than mine do (Dunlop M3)

I don't think he meant the same thing...

the first one he's hoping for it not being another person from TM3, while the second one is more so for the color... it's a Grey 3... CWP and Grey has been accident prone for the past month.

Huh? Is it that hard to figure out? Maybe cuz ti.grey and white (and black) are popular colors??? (http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=8296)

I don't know about anyone else, but I am amazed that you got this shot the way you did! It's rather you have super-robot arms that don't shake (even in this cold weather), or you managed to get the tripod out...I'm hoping for the robot arms.

Anyways

Even with winter tires, I was slipping and sliding around today. I can only imagine what it would be like with all-seasons =S

hahaha bet that dude (or dudette) was driving with all seasons.

No way he/she goes off the road like that with winters unless the driver was drunk...and with all these Xmas parties...who knows!

You go do that Jaimie... tell us how it goes... and then we despise you forever for destroying/butchering a Mazda 3...

Can we have some sort of excommunication ceremony?

I'm just picturing that. Utter ridiculousness!

I mean about the monster 3. Not about the excommunication ceremony.
